Ratings & Reviews:
I used sate sticks becuase popsicle sticks are hard to get here and cut my bananas a bit smaller so that I could dip them more easily. Presentation is great and guests ohh-ed and ahh-ed but when we got down the eating we were a tad disapointed because they were quite plain, and a little boring. A nice combination, but on the whole, the four who reviewed this felt that this would need jazzing up to make it a real winner. Please see my rating system, a lovely 3 stars, but I would need to experiment with some extra flavourings, Mint essesence? Tia Maria? Baileys??? before this became regular in our house. Thanks !
